| Obverse description | The face carries a palm plantation vignette at right, rendered in fine intaglio engraving with figures walking beneath the trees. The denomination "FIFTY CENTAVOS" is lettered in bold serif type at centre-left, above the issuing authority legend "THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT"; numerals "50" appear in guilloche-bordered corner cartouches at all four corners. A small imperial seal medallion is positioned at lower centre, flanked by the Japanese Imperial Government legend in kanji within a rectangular panel, and the red block letters "PI" (Philippines identifier) appear twice on the face. |
